In general, producing hydrogen from natural gas using carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) was more expensive than the traditional production method. As of 2018, the European cost for natural gas in hydrogen production using CCUS amounted to 1.34 U.S. dollars per kilogram, compared to production costs of 1.22 U.S. dollars per kilogram without using CCUS.
